About

Content submitted to a repository may be restricted by laws, policies, or contractual obligations that require the submitter not to publish or enable public access to the content for a period of time. This period of time is the embargo period. Once that period has elapsed, the constraints of the embargo are withdrawn.

Our (Johns Hopkins) constraints allow for embargoed item metadata to be indexed and viewed, but representations of the item cannot be retrieved. Different collections, communities, or institutions may have different constraints or policies on what an embargo encompasses.
